Mizzou #10 in Coaches Poll

This is bad ass news... Why are we not bloging about this??? MU defeats KU in a game where both teams are ranked, and Josh cannot even get us a Random Royal of the week update..

Missouri is 22-4 and 9-2 in the Big 12 these numbers have not been since the stormin Norman Days. MU has 5 remaining regular season games before the Big 12 tournament and a legitimate chance to have a first round buy in the tourney. Of the 5 remaining games MU will be on the road 3 times which includes games against a weak Colorado that has on 1 win in the conference, the DIRTY jayhawks which have only 1 loss (BAM- MIZ-FKU) in conference, and Texas A&M which has been strong at home as of late. Missouri which has been dominant at home all year winning by a margin 26.7 points on their home court will play Kansas State who beat the tigers earlier in the season and a very strong Oklahoma team which is currently rank #2 in that nation, but most likely moving to #1 after Connecticut’s loss on Monday.

I think it is possible for Missouri to emerge 27-4 at the end of regular season play, but it is more likely they will lose 1 or 2 of these games. Either way Missouri seems a lock for the NCAA tournament.

Mike Shanahan is New Chief's Head Coach!

Not really. And neither is Bill Cowher or Kirk Ferentz or Chan Gailey. However, at one point each was thought to be. Congrats to Todd Haley. I hope he will lead the Chiefs in a new direction....the Super Bowl! Here's to breaking the Steeler's 6 in the next 10 years! Any thoughts on this coach's first moves? Ditch LJ? Toss aside TG? Get ready for the draft? Assemble a staff?
